23 days post op and 30 lbs down!

Jun 05, 2013

YAY!  I can't believe I'm down 30 lbs already.  I feel an immediate relief already in my hips, ankles, and knees.  I've been able to walk at least 1 mile everyday with my dogs.  Feels good to be out among the living again.  I am slowly getting to work in my yard.  My yard and the dogs are my favorite hobbies.  I am very blessed for my best friends and my nephew for planting and mowing so far.  

I am no longer suffering from the cold hands/feet syndrome.  That must have been the anesthestic, however it was almost 80 degrees today in the Seattle area.  So that makes it very nice!  

I started back to work 1/2 days this week.  I ended up only working three of those four days.  One of those days inbetween I got very bad indigestion, vomiting, and then a migraine.  Once I got myself to sleep, I slept 10 hours, was up for about 4, then slept another 4 hours.  I think sleeping 14 hours within a 24 hr period maybe mean I was a bit tired too!  I go back full time this Friday, 8 hrs days, for 5 days, and no overtime allowed.  I am on graves right now, but will be switching back to Swings June 16.  It will be nice to have some normalacy back into my life by being on swings again.  Graves is hard on my body, my mind, and my habits.  I love the people I work with, but it is just too hard for me to exist on those hours.
